They don't need a reason to fly in the home- they have mounds of activities that you would not ever dream of, even for your flighted birds. Creativity outside of the feather. I took the initutive, became involved with them, and they are the most well-behaved, happiest and healthiest birds ever.

And, no, being stepped on is no reason for flight. Plain and simple, it's the owner's neglegance for allowing them to get stepped on. They should have taught them otherwise. In my home, noone enters my bird room without taking off their shoes, and I always tell them to watch their step anywhere else, or I have the birds in the respective cages when other people who are not used to the habits of my babies are around.

Yes, birds adapt, just like the dog has to become our right-hand freind. And I guess you can say that it suits our needs- this way we do not sit in a bird-poo covered chair or watch as our little freinds drown in the aquarium across the room. We live in silent bombs. Anything can go wrong, but it keeps anything from the doorknobs up out of their reach.

It may be crazy, but that's the truth. Sorry you don't agree, but this is getting you nowhere.
